On July 11, 2018, Bruker acquired a 100% interest in JPK Instruments AG (“JPK”) for a purchase price of $15.0 million, with the potential for additional consideration based on various operational achievements throughout 2019 and 2020. JPK adds in-depth expertise in live-cell imaging, cellular mechanics, adhesion, and molecular force measurements, optical trapping, and biological stimulus-response characterization to Bruker. JPK is located in Berlin, Germany and will be integrated into the Bruker Nano Group within the BSI reportable segment. The purchase accounting for this acquisition will be finalized within the measurement period.
